That being said, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part.

Intending to buy a house in Balham.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Balham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Balham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Balham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Balham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
